include breadcrumbs in footer
is there a way to automatically include the current section name (or outline
number) in a footer? I'm working on a tech document (written elsewhere) which includes very long sections full of graphics. It's very easy to lose track of where you are in the document (while reading it, i mean -- I'm mostly lost altogether) so I'd like to have something similar to "breadcrumbs" on a website. Maybe there's a better way than using the footer? |

You can use the footer, placing one or more StyleRef fields there to
refer to the current headings. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.
